The panel is 10 feet above my head and if anything went wrong I would have to take it down. In the middle of winter that could prove to be a problem. I also had issues with flickering so I got a BBB and everything is just dandy. The box on the side of the panel houses the BBB making it more convenient to get too. Since the frame is metal I 3D printed a tunnel so no wires will get cut in too by the metal edges. Worked like a charm.

So I took on the task of building a 24×45 node matrix. It's all 5 volt pixels and it's a total of 1080 pixels. I have it split into 2 ports of 540 nodes each. Each 540 nodes section has 4 pwr injection points, 1 at top,1 at bottom and 2 in the middle,using 16awg landscape wire. Each 540 node section also runs on it own 300watt power supply. I am testing it off a pi cap. With the pi running off a wall wart and data only lines going into the matrix.
When I hook it all up and plug in the pwr supply about 150 pixels randomly flash colors, the others do nothing. If I run the pi port with pwr,ground and data along with the 4 injection points. It still just flashes the 150 pixels and won't respond to the fpp sequence. I am very confused on this and dont know where to start. Do I need more pwr injection points?? Is 540 pixels to many for 1 port on the pi? I am total stumped here... any advice anyone could give me to try would be very helpful.
